So at first I was like "Cool, the little yellow books on the cover glow in the dark." Then I started reading and I was like "Holy crap, of course the books glow in the dark! Why wouldn't they?!" Awesome...

i find myself getting annoyed by some things in this story. Win is pushy, she tosses her supposedly strong faith around carelessly, and she won't stop using the word "absurd". What 16 yr old says absurd instead of weird, odd, crazy, nuts, etc.?

I love the POV in this. It feels like I'm Anya's child or grandchild learning about her teen years--it reads like a storyteller telling their favorite tale they've had decades to polish...

This family is decidedly screwed up...what an interesting set of characters. :)

Thank God for authors who summarize the last book @ the beginning of the sequel. I had totally forgotten Everneath til she jogged my memory. :)

Gah! Insta-love. I HATE insta-love! You don't automatically go from "I don't know you" to "Let's make out". NO. Bad book.

Yep, totally called it. Nicely done, me.

I have a feeling I just figured out a main plot point long before I was supposed to. We'll see...

This reads like an episode of Supernatural. Sans the Winchesters. Also, why would Obi tell them the entire plan? That's not very sensible...

omg, someone actually took a dump in a teen book. i was beginning to think all teen novels were like the Brady Bunch house--no toilets. Hooray for human characters!

ugh, i could do without the word shortening. "she took the merc" Seriously...I don't even know if that's Mercury or Mercedes (I can guess). Who shortens everything they say? "natch" "totes" fabu". gag me.

so they hate each other at first sight because...?

I don't think kids would get this book. Maybe it'll improve, but I can see a lot of kids giving up by this point...

would you just look at that cover? so cool...and textury!

this is really good so far. i love how you aren't quite sure about some characters yet, just like it would be if you were just meeting someone...

next up on the "covers made by people who clearly never read the book", the obviously white girl even though the MC is Indian...

how am i still reading this book? it's so freakin long! i feel like i'm running a very tedious marathon...

Loving the suspense of this book. And the serial killer's chapters are creepy!

so her blonde hair is a major key in the 1st chapter...but the cover girl is brunette? confused.

While I 100% support marriage equality and interracial marriage, i think this book goes over the top. In 100 years, Australia is entirely comprised of Muslims and homosexuals? That seems unbalanced. While I appreciate what the author's trying to do, you have to present a believably balanced demographic...

wow...instantaneous stockholm syndrome. just when you think you've seen everything...

Good lord, quit with the infodumps! Show, don't tell! And those are some mighty big deus ex machinae you're showing there, book. Nearly indecent.

People in 2045 aspire to move to Columbus, Ohio because it's the tech mecca. Mark this as the first time in history that a large group of relatively sane people actually WANT to live in Columbus, Ohio.

Children of the 80s need to read this book. Seriously.

Having a Whovian moment. I believe we are experiencing a Weeping Angel moment here. but, Spoilers! I won't ruin it. :)

This book would make one hell of a horror movie. Make it so.

neat! red font! i like colored fonts. makes you think the printer put some love into the book.

I stand corrected. Apparently "goddy" is a futuristic way of not saying the "g.d." word. Interesting and apparently something I forgot from Legend.

Why? Why, editors? How do you miss "gaudy" being misspelled as "goddy" 2 times in 4 pages? Is "goddy" even a word?!

This book gets an A++ for setting. Demesne sounds gorgeous! Her description hits you in all 5 senses.
